IBB Set for 2007: Falae Pledges Support for Presidential Bid Speculations are on again on the political plans of former military President Ibrahim Babangida, following an announcement yesterday that he would declare his candidature for the 2007 presidential election in October. Also, Chief Olu Falae, who ran in the 1999 presidential election on the joint ticket of the Alliance for Democracy (AD) and the then All People�s Party (APP), has pledged his support to the General. "Alhaji Ahmed Makama, national coordinator of IBB Vision 2007, revealed Babngida�s plan yesterday while addressing members of �IBB Frontliners,� a group of the former president�s supporters in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State. Makama said Babangida would have run in the last presidential election but gave up the plan as a �sacrifice for the stability, peace and progress of the country.� He reminded his audience that the General merely �stepped aside in 1993 and did not resign or pull out and as such is stepping back in 2007.� (Daily Independent)		Key Stories Cardinal Arinze Concludes Pastoral Visit to Los Angeles, CA BiafraNigerian oil union issues August 19 strike threat For Peace Ngige Must Quit, Says Uba ...AIG Ige Recommended for Trial Nigerdock Crisis Threatens $2.5bn Oil Project NDDC: Delta House Wants 15% Allocation Paid to States Govt drops plan to sell seaports NDDC: Delta Assembly writes Obasanjo on 15% allocation BiafraNigeria, others mobilise to rout Sao Tome junta Gov Kalu admits rift between Obasanjo, Finance Minister BiafraNigerian police 'fanned riots'
Cardinal Concludes Pastoral Visit...   Oil Union Issues Aug. 19 Strike Threat   AUDIO   VIDEO His Eminence Cardinal Francis Arinze wrapped up his pastoral visit to southern California today, July 20 2003. Today will go down in the history of Nd�Igbo in southern California, as the day Igbo one-Nigeria apologists went into hiding. In a subtle message, His Eminence Cardinal Arinze through his Gospel told Nd�Igbo that you couldn�t be a good Christian without being a good Igbo first. (BNW)   A major BiafraNigerian oil union has threatened to strike on August 19 because it says several companies have been foot-dragging on pay negotiations. "We gave an ultimatum...with regard to the non-implementation of collective bargaining by some companies in the industry," Bayo Olowoshile, Acting Secretary General of PENGASSAN told Reuters on Tuesday. "Some of the companies have been foot-dragging."
